The new Google Images search redesign eliminates caption texts to provide only visual eye-candy at first glance. This is the first major revamp of Google Images since the tool first launched back in 2001. Included in the redesign is the ability to view up to 1,000 images on on scrolling page.

Flickr photo page redesign
Six years in the making, the recently unveiled flickr photo page redesign may seem very subtle at first glance. Flickr just released preview pages for signed-in members which are on view before the redesign is rolled out. We’ll need some time to play around with the new functionality and tweaked layout. We’re still getting used to all the trends for geo-location integration creeping into our favorite sites.
“We’ve been keen to build a better showcase for your photos for some time. Your photos – everyday captures and extraordinary sightings, local scenes and exotic moments – are central to our DNA because they reflect your individual stories. With the new photo experience, you can discover, share and organize your visual stories in a new and improved way…” —flickr blog
Flickr has added a couple extra resource sections devoted to the design.
Digg CEO Jay Adelson offers insight on anticipated Digg site redesign
(official announcement made at SXSW)
“Digg has offered a first glimpse of its new website design, a radical reboot that not only alters the entire look of the site, but also ditches Digg’s rigid taxonomy in favor of user-selected tags. It also taps into the broader social web to help users discover relevant news stories. “Every single thing has changed,” says Digg CEO Jay Adelson. “The entire website has been rewritten.” The new Digg.com is still pre-beta, but Digg users can sign up to test the new version by visiting new.digg.com…” —Wired

Vignelli Associates collection
The anticipated redesign for the AIGA Design Archives, designed by Second Story Interactive Studios, has launched. We’ll have to take some more time browsing the archives, but we are excited to see how far back in time some of the collections go. AIGA has also posted a case study to learn more about the development process and design behind the revamped, substantial design resource. The expansive collections provide something for everyone, from A Decade of Sports Graphics (1987-96) to Fifty Advertisements of the Year (1973). There is plenty of book cover design eye candy too.
